I just got my first yorkie - 3 months old now. *and my last at this poinit*

Every day, he's in his area *kitchen* for three hours, and then we pull him out for 1 hour, and back and forth until about 8pm. At 8pm, he gets back into his area *kitchen* for a little while and then i pull him out and put him in his crate for bed at 9pm.

He'll whine and bark and cry for a good 30 minutes, and then he'll wake up at 1am and cry again *30 minutes* and again at 4am *30 minutes*...I pull him out at 7am and we start our day after he runs around for 1 hour.

Issue #1: I'm sure he has to pee in the middle of the night. Sometimes when i pull him out, he's wet, but the crate isnt. He DOES NOT HAVE HIS LAST ROUND OF SHOTS...so he hasnt really been outside yet *except for the ride home from the pet store*.

Issue #2: I'm trying to get him accustomed to the crate during the day now so that he doesnt spend the night YELPING and waking my apartment complex. What's the best way?

Thanks so much for any advice. I just want to sleep...*sigh*...and im sure my neighbors do too.
